Amazon has halted the sale of Auschwitz-themed products such as Christmas decorations, a mouse pad and a bottle opener following an outpouring of disgust on social media led by Poland’s official memorial museum.
The items featured images from Auschwitz, the former Nazi camp where an estimated 1.1 million men, women and children died during World War II. The Auschwitz-themed star holiday decoration was described as a “high quality snowflake,” while one seller, going by the name of Fcheng, had described the bottle opener as a “memorable gift, perfect for every festival.”
The Auschwitz Museum took to Twitter on Sunday to condemn Amazon for selling the products on its website, calling the products “disturbing and disrespectful.”
